Mike Kortas Launches evoLend to Keep Loan Officers in the Driver’s Seat

Traditional mortgage servicing often prioritizes institutional efficiency over the professional who secured the business. By the time a loan is sold, the originating loan officer typically loses visibility, future refinance opportunities, and the ability to manage the client experience. evoLend aims to reverse this trend by providing loan officers with the technology and data intelligence needed to maintain control over the payoff process and long-term borrower retention.

Approved by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae, the company functions as an independent entity with its own compliance and infrastructure. Tammy Richards has been appointed CEO to oversee the integration of servicing data and residual income opportunities into the loan officer's workflow. The platform is designed to transform servicing from a hand-off point into a tool for building enterprise value, ensuring that the connection between borrower and professional persists long after the initial closing.
